I took the footage for this video at the beginning of the month, but I haven't yet gotten around to creating and posting it. Sorry about that... I haven't done much with the BW the past few years, so this summer I took it out and tried to use/drive it around a little bit more. It's a fun and special tractor to me, as it's the little two-cylinder that grandpa kept on the farm that we had though all of my childhood. Although we had "better" and more modern tractors, the old "put put" tractor was always one of my favorites to use. Chores growing up with the B included "fluffing" hay (driving over the hay windrows with a device that would lift it up slightly to increase drying time after it'd been rained on), as well as using the tractor to run the old grain elevator to put grain into the grain bins. This tractor is a 1949 John Deere BW all fuel. The All fuel model was somewhat of a rare configuration. It also shipped with the optional wide axles, which have unfortunately since been torched off. The last portion of the video shows the tractor pulling an International Harvester hay rake. I was using the tractor and rake to split a field due to a property boundary. Overall, the B is still one of my favorite tractors, as it's small, nimble, easy to work on, and plainly just a lot of fun to drive and work on. The B is also the size smaller to the model A. Deere said the B was about 1/3 smaller than the A, and the A was about 1/3 smaller than the G. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BrGTwySE1Q

Cultivating alfalfa with a John Deere 4230, spring tooth (danish harrow) and a compactor roller. We have lots of rocks in the area, so the roller pushes them down into the ground a bit to help from having to replace so many teeth when cutting the alfalfa. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DixLcKy8S8w
